Chapter 231: Solving the Misunderstanding
After the class, it was obvious that Selena was demanding an explanation. Surprisingly, the person in question, Sera, was also coming.
Now that Nathan had the time to think, he finally looked calmer.
"So, do you plan to explain everything?" Selena asked with a cold gaze.
"She is Serafina. I met her when I was trying to get into the ancient library. According to the elder that my teacher suggested, there would be a guide that would bring me into the library. And that guide would give me one task.
"Hence, I thought she was the guide because, back then, she was chased after the bandits. The first time I met her was when she was too exhausted and collapsed.
"When I helped her, she asked me to fight the bandits terrorizing the area, so I ended up helping."
Selena closed her eyes for a moment and sighed. "So you misunderstood her?"
"Yes." Nathan nodded.
"How cold…" Sera smirked. "You even gave me the chance to summon a Valkyrie. She was strong and dependable.
"Besides, you might not know it, but there is basically another category for the summoning. Once your familiar reaches a certain level, you will be able to summon them as they restrict their own power.
"This happened to basically half divine entities or higher. Of course, that depended on the summoning itself. Nevertheless, it was only that kind of Valkyrie or even the archangel Michael would appear.
"That's what my teacher, I mean, the Pope said. The reason I was able to be here was because of that fact."
This was what Nathan found as well. He had been wondering if Selena could actually summon Lilith or Cain right away. If she could do it, he thought about suggesting another divine being after that.
Selena frowned. "You're the one telling her about the Valkyrie?"
Nathan knew Selena thought she was special, but instead of denying or confirming it, Nathan answered it in a different way. "Have Fenrir told you about the god he devoured?"
Selena shook her head.
Nathan pointed at Serafina and said, "That is the lord of the Valkyries, according to Fenrir."
"Hmmm…" Selena looked down. Now that she thought about it, back when Fenrir suggested Sasha, Fenrir only mentioned strong beings that made him excited.
He never specified he had killed any of them.
In other words, Fenrir might have fought them but didn't manage to kill them. And because of that very reason, the fact that the God that the Valkyries served died in Fenrir's hand meant he was just inferior compared to anything Fenrir had mentioned so far.
In her mind, Odin was inferior to Lilith or Cain, which meant she was more special to him.
And that was when Nathan came closer and whispered, "Do you think I will give you something not special, despite you being my special one?"
Selena shuddered, not expecting Nathan to come closer. However, she soon looked away and said, "Well. I can understand that." Selena coughed once, trying to regain her calm. There was a tinge of red on her cheeks, which was lovable and relieving at the same time.
Sera tilted her head in confusion as she couldn't hear what Nathan said.
And before Selena could recover, Nathan asked a question. "And whose plan is it to come here? I don't think His Holiness is the one coming up with this plan. Let's see… Is it Brunhild? Or your fallen angel. I haven't heard her name."
"W-What are you talking about?" Sera looked away.
"Let's see. You claimed I understand you. But looking at the situation, it looked like you were not the one coming up with that plan. Let's see. Who is lying? You're not going to say you are different from other saintess and can do whatever you want, right?"
Sera rubbed her cheek. The culprit was indeed among the two. Even Selena could see it.
It would be bad to antagonize her too much, considering he still needed the Holy Kingdom.
Nathan sighed. "I won't get angry. Just tell me the culprit."
"It's…" Sera gulped down, remembering what happened in the last few days.
…
A few days ago.
Brunhild said, "You should go to the Frexia Academy."
"What? What are you talking about?" Sera shook her head.
"You know what she is talking about." Her fallen angel came and explained, "If you go, you can test his uniqueness."
"Don't listen to them. They're trying to corrupt you. You should remain here, especially since you've just reinstated your position as the saintess!" The angel tried to stop them, but the fallen angel simply said, "If you stay here, everything will remain the same. Don't forget what the Pope said. It's exploring the world and finding a new possibility. There is no bad power, only bad people.
If you go to him, you might find even more possibilities, including other gods' servants."
Sera scratched the back of her head, wondering which one she should follow. Brunhild and her fallen angel raised a valid point while the angel only mentioned her goal.
"But how can I convince my teacher?"
Brunhild and the fallen angel smiled as if they were thinking about the same thing.
"Just say that you are indebted to him and would like to repay him. Because your position has just been reinstated, just tell him you have promised to repay him with your body back then."
…
…
"That's what happened." Sera lowered her head.
"So to avoid that kind of situation, the Pope ends up helping us take care of the terrorist organization." Nathan closed his eyes, his eyebrows twitching.
"Mhmm…" Sera looked away.
It was no wonder why Vivian asked him what he did to make the Pope angry. This was the reason why the Pope still sent his support despite being angry. The Pope would believe it, considering how sexy Serafina was.
However, Selena had calmed down, realizing that everything was just a misunderstanding. It was Sera's fault that she was too gullible. It was as if there was a devil and an angel whispering sweet words to her.
Nathan couldn't help but grin, his eyes exuding bloodlust. "I wonder. Which bird should I hunt this time?"
